When paired with a smartphone, Biombeat enables a mobile app to authenticate the user’s ECG trace, verify the user’s proximity to the phone, and determine the geographical location of the user.

With Taliware and an ECG-enabled smartwatch, your heartbeat is your password.

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB)
March 17, 2021

Taliware, an innovator of intelligent biometric and geolocation systems powered by deep-learning networks, announced that its identity-management software developer toolkit (SDK) is now available. By integrating the Taliware™ SDK with their applications, mobile app developers can use Taliware’s patented Biombeat™ to access ECG-based biometric verification, to enable passwordless, location-based authentication.

Operating in stealth mode until now, Taliware has perfected a set of proprietary algorithms for human identity verification that apply machine-learning techniques to decipher a person’s electrocardiogram (ECG) — a unique biometric signature. Taliware Biombeat is currently compatible with Apple Watch models equipped with an ECG sensor. Taliware’s platform roadmap includes Google Verily, Samsung, and Withings.

When paired with a smartphone, Biombeat enables a mobile app to authenticate the user’s ECG trace, verify the user’s proximity to the phone, and determine the geographical location of both the user and the app. This multimodal approach delivers highly accurate multifactor authentication.

Like other biometric approaches, Taliware’s Biombeat ECG authentication eliminates the need for a password. Recently, fingerprint authentication has largely been superseded by face authentication, however the latter has been rendered less effective during the pandemic. By comparison, Biombeat authentication uses the ECG capabilities of a smartwatch, continually assessing our individual cardiac rhythm as a unique and persistent biometric.

“With Taliware and an ECG-enabled smartwatch, your heartbeat is your password,” said Tarik Tali, co-founder and CEO of Taliware. “Moreover, our geolocation component adds another layer of security to counter fraud, providing proof of presence while ensuring that a person is who they say they are, along with a time-stamped location.”

Biombeat addresses a growing industry need for precise, strong user identification

The increasing incidence of data breaches and other malign cybersecurity attacks underscores the need for stronger security around user authentication. Strong identity verification can be achieved by injecting NFC chip technology under the skin of users, for example. And while this certainly accomplishes positive identification of the individual, its invasive nature is unlikely to gain broad acceptance. Meanwhile, multi-factor authentication (MFA) has emerged as viable approach since it supports a zero-trust model and enhances the granularity of user rights and permissions by guaranteeing the identity of the user.

The Taliware Biombeat MFA approach delivers unique benefits to any organization concerned about identity and access management (IAM). Biombeat addresses all of these security challenges, for example:

• Eliminates password friction: simple and easy single sign-on (SSO) and control of privileged access to critical information systems, devices and applications. ECG-based authentication addresses the shortcomings of fingerprint- and face-based authentication.
• Reduces (IAM) cost: no need for password management (loathed by most users); users simply use their heartbeat for authentication.
• Reduces fraud costs: banks can easily validate, non-intrusively, the identity and location of their customer during credit card transactions. Customers may be driving or in a meeting but can quickly approve or decline a bank transaction simply based on their heartbeat and location.
• Reduces support calls and cost associated with point-of-sale card cancellations and replacement card issuance.

About Taliware

Operating on an ECG-capable smartwatch, Taliware’s Biombeat™ verifies an individual’s identity based on their unique heartbeat. A seed-stage startup based in San Diego, California, Taliware™ has developed patented biometric authentication and location-based software that uses a person’s unique ECG trace to provide persistent identity and geolocation verification. Taliware has been awarded several patent application claims and has since filed more patent claims for its cardiac rhythm geo-authentication systems. For more information, visit taliware.com.

BlinkAI’s 2021 Smartphone Consumer Report

As time on mobile devices increases to an all-time high, it is clear that smartphone OEMs should be focusing on innovations in functional areas that consumers are prioritizing such as battery-life extension, improved processing speeds, and enhanced photography and video capabilities.

BOSTON (PRWEB)
March 17, 2021

Just 34% of U.S. smartphone owners believe 5G is a compelling reason to upgrade smartphones, indicating Americans are underwhelmed with the user experience enhancements promised on the next-generation wireless standard. Instead, 73% of consumers noted extended battery life would compel them to upgrade, followed by more storage (49%), a faster processor (43%), and better quality photos and video (41%). These findings highlight that as consumers’ device usage hits all-time highs, they’re placing an increased amount of importance on practical functionalities that deliver more satisfying user experiences.

These are the findings of BlinkAI’s 2021 Smartphone Consumer Report, a study of the features and functionalities consumers prioritize in their next device as smartphones move far beyond being merely a tool for communication. As part of its analysis, BlinkAI, an AI-powered imaging enhancement provider for smartphones, commissioned a survey of over 1,000 American smartphone owners in February 2021. The sample of respondents was nearly evenly split between iPhone (55%) and Android (45%) users.

Android users (36%) said they were slightly more compelled by 5G to upgrade from their current smartphone versus iPhone users (32%), and were also more interested (47%) in the idea of upgrading to a better processor than their iPhone (43%) counterparts. These Android users may have their eye on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888, which will power 2021 Android flagships from manufacturers like Samsung, OnePlus, Xiaomi, LG, Sony, and more.

Meanwhile, consumer desire for upgrading to a smartphone device based on higher quality photos and videos saw the most significant difference in opinions based on gender. 47% of women said the ability to take higher quality videos and pictures would be a compelling reason to upgrade from their current device, versus just 35% of men.

BlinkAI’s findings also indicate that the smartphone replacement cycle has increased over the last few years as annual improvements on mobile devices have plateaued, with more than one-in-three (35%) American smartphone users planning to keep their device for more than three years. When comparing Android and iPhone users, the former indicated they would be keeping their device longer. 37% of Android users said they plan to keep their smartphone longer than 36 months compared with 34% of iPhone users.

Interestingly, the replacement cycle period also varies by gender and age demographics. Nearly four-in-ten women (39%) report that they plan to keep their current device for longer than three years versus 31% of men. Therefore, it’s not a surprise that you see smartphone manufacturers hungry to continue rolling out innovations with photo and video enhancements that women are interested in with the hope of enticing them to upgrade.

When it comes to new photo and video enhancements that would warrant upgrading their device, enhancing image quality for night photo and night video mode (44%) was the top choice. That was followed by introducing 5x optical zoom (22%), front and rear-facing cameras (18%), 8K video (9%), and triple-rear camera (7%). Nighttime video production was reported to be a significant pain point for many smartphone users, with more than a quarter (26%) of Android users and 23% of iPhone users admitting that they’re not satisfied with the quality of their nighttime videos. Comparatively, just 4% of Android users and 3% of iPhone users reported not being satisfied with the quality of the daytime videos they capture.

Additional highlights from BlinkAI’s 2021 Smartphone Consumer Report include:

• 72% of iPhone users and 75% of Android users rank extended battery life as a compelling reason to upgrade from their current device.
• Overall, 76% say that the chip their phone is running on is moderately important when buying a new device.
• Exactly half (50%) of those over the age of 60 said they plan to keep their device for more than three years. Comparatively, 26% of millennials and Gen Z under 30 said they plan to keep their mobile devices for 36 months-plus.
• 70% of consumers say they are most interested in leveraging AI on their smartphone for reducing battery consumption. This was followed by being interested in AI that enables faster processing needs (46%), AI that offers better security protection (44%), and AI that helps them take better photos and videos (40%).

“Consumers have come to rely on their smartphones for everything from communicating with loved ones to shopping and entertainment during the pandemic,” says BlinkAI CEO & Co-Founder, Selina Shen. “As time on mobile devices increases to an all-time high, it is clear that smartphone OEMs should be focusing on innovations in functional areas that consumers are prioritizing such as battery-life extension, improved processing speeds, and enhanced photography and video capabilities. Enhancements in these areas are the most likely path to enticing consumers into upgrading and the most viable path to gaining market share in the coming years.”

Strong partners as Vizoo are a key component to teach state of the art technology and to further evolve 3D at our university.

MUNICH, Germany (PRWEB)
March 17, 2021

Vizoo, the leading provider of digital 3D material digitization technology, works with the University of Albstadt Sigmaringen in Germany to offer online workshops and regular lessons for the students in the Textile and Clothing Technology bachelor’s program starting from the winter semester 2020. With the cutting-edge Vizoo xTex technology at their fingertips, students can quickly and easily transform their physical fabrics into photo-realistic materials for 3D fashion designs.

The first online workshop commenced in November 2020. Despite the severe lockdown in Germany, the workshop was held successfully online. In the 2-day workshop, Nolan West, 3D design expert with Vizoo, guided students from basic 3D knowledge to advanced material editing and tiling skills using the xTex software and Photoshop. More than 40 students who actively participated in the training had a chance to gain hands-on experience with creating digital material twins for lifelike garment visualization. The promising start of this partnership encourages the university and the software company to hold the online workshop regularly once per semester.

Nolan describes his expectation for these workshops, “Keep providing workshops each semester and we will see how students transform from beginners to masters of the 3D technology. More partnerships with educational institutes like the University of Albstadt Sigmaringen will properly prepare students for the increasingly important digital fashion design and development workflows.”

As virtual is the new normal, material digitization is not just the solution to logistics during a pandemic but also a sustainable and time-saving tool for business development. As the demand for 3D savvy grows within the fashion industry, students equipped with 3D knowledge and hands-on project experience will gain a competitive advantage in the future job market.

“Strong partners as Vizoo are a key component to teach state of the art technology and to further evolve 3D at our university,” said Prof. Dr. Christian Kaiser, expressing his great enthusiasm for this promising collaboration. “Material digitalization is one missing key link in industrial use of 3D simulation. One can either address this issue with textile CAD systems already providing the needed meta information to the further tools used in the digital chain or by digitalization technologies making real fabrics digitally available. I have high expectations for Vizoo’s technologies helping us to bridge this gap as most garments and fabrics are not developed seamlessly at the moment and will not be in the close future,” he adds.

Vizoo has been devoted to providing innovative solutions for material digitization since 2013. To date, the company has developed an extensive network of customers and distributors in more than 40 countries globally.

The University of Albstadt Sigmaringen offers a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Textile and Clothing Technology which puts 3D garment development and presentation as an important focus area in teaching and R&D.
